I know this was posted ages ago, but I’m just catching up with the backlogged podcasts. Inuit languages are complicated, and I do not identify in that cultural/linguistic group so I could be entirely wrong.
As I understand it, there are generally three main classifications for the people now referred to as Inuit – Inuit, Inupiaq, and Yupik – based on geography and language.
The “Eskimo” language tree has 2 main branches, Inuit-Inupiaq and Yupik. Yupik is basically the Siberian branch, while Inuit-Inupiaq is spread across Arctic North America (Alaska and Canada), but there is also a Greenlandic variation.
The people in Eastern Canada and Greenland are usually called Inuit and speak mostly Inuktitut (Inuk = person, titut = speech, the plural of Inuk = Inuit) and in Western Canada speak Inuinnaqtun. The people in Alaska are generally called Inupiaq and speak Inupiatun, although there is also a version of Alaskan Yupik.
The “cheese” in the big cheese comes from Cheez in Hindi which might have its original in Farsi or Urdu. It literally means “thing”. It is a commonly used word to think day!
It is a commonly used word to this* day!
Thought this was quite relevant.

Actually Barry was correct when he said that Octopus’ have arms instead of tentacles. Arms on a cephalopod are usually lined with suckers, where as tentacles usually have suckers only near the ends. So an Octopus would have 8 arms and Squid and Cuttlefish would have 8 arms and 2 tentacles. Right on Barry! Loving the Podcasts guys!
Barry does specifically say a Great White and the sharks killed were not Great Whites. So his was a lie. But still.
As a literary student, I was like: “Jamie? Did you just say Emile Zola made cheese? The French naturalist writer?” And a few minutes later: “Is no one noticing this? Really?!”
this never fails to entertain… but i should get back to work
An electron’s mass is 9.1×10^-31 kg (0.000548597 amu)! It is indeed very small, compared to the proton’s mass of 1.6726×10^-27 kg
Y’all should call your podcast chewing the facts!
Now that is SMART! Ha. Love it.
I went to school with girl called Pepper Potts, she then married a woman called Jessica Salte and her name now is Pepper Potts Salte.
I also met a girl in Venice called Strawberry but everyone called her Berry or Bear.
Probably my favourite episode to date! Personal stories (ie Barry’s nan’s kitchen mishaps) is interesting and all, but they’re not ‘real’ facts? I like that I was able to learn something from everyone today!
Accidental learning… the best type!
